Abstract
Macrophages from nude mice, nude rats and armadillos were cultured in vitro and examined for their ability to support M. leprae. No significant growth of this organism was observed after > 200 days of culture. No significant benefit was derived from modifying culture conditions or from variations in the source of macrophages or the source of M. leprae.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
